Talked to an autistic student today. PC specs are a great interest of his. I told him how a bit more than 10 years ago I was building a PC and didn’t want to pay 300€ for a gtx 970 because that was just too much money for a GPU. Got an R9 280X instead because that was a bit over 200€. My entire build cost me 800€ back then. Good times.

One crypto mania and an AI bubble later and you’d be happy to get a midrange GPU for 600 bucks and you’d suck some dicks behind a dumpster to get 32GB of DDR5 RAM.

If it calms you, I think it’d be hard to start a fire with a 3060 even if you wanted to.

Fun fact: if I got a full refund for my midrange GPU that I bought two years ago I couldn’t buy a similarly powerful GPU today. I’d have to fucking downgrade like an animal because prices are rising so much faster than performance.

Oh no, no, the people who actually make the games don’t get the millions. What you want to wish is to be born into an old-money rich family that sends you to a private school where you make connections that allow you to become part of the upper management circle jerk.
